Hello,
I send desperately a message today cause I bought a month ago a motherboard Gigabyte 5aX rev 4.1. Unfortunately I didn’t managed to go past the bios post screen. My hard drives and cdrom drives are not recognized by the bios. I tried various things.
- swapping the IDE cables
- moving the jumpers positions on the drives
- using a sata to IDE adapter
- using a PCI Sata drive adapter (with or without firmware on it)
- changing the PSU
- tried in PC case or outside
- even flashing the firmware with the latest version
No matter what I tried. IDE peripherals are not recognized. You understood that the only functional drive is the good old floppy reader. That’s the first time I face this kind of trouble. Even during my glorious days with PC Chips or DFI socket 7 motherboards I never face this situation.
What can I do ? Thank you very much for your help and advices ! Have a nice weekend!
